ZiderEyed Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Scoffed at this but thinking seriously about it... No, not this season. If the form we're in now continues, with a dire summer window and barely any shots on target each game, we'll be around the relegation places, and serious questions will have to be asked. If he can keep us in and around mid table he won't be going, and nor should he. However, now is the time to put big questions marks over how good he actually is as a manager. - Poor use of substitutions (seemed to be improving, but sticking the big men on and going long isn't management. It's a gamble. It's not an adequate plan B). - Consistently out-thought tactically. - Poor recruitment. - Unable to shake off these bad runs when they start. For me these are all reasons to be worried and while I don't want him out, I'd like to see all of them addressed pretty ******* sharpish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well LJ can't take the shots for them can he. Yes tactics help create the chances but when they come along its down to the players to take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whale Eye Beef Hooked Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 4 minutes ago, Bobfish said: Go. I am sick of people saying we are better than last season - yes, we were terrible last season and he was our manager! So the arguement given for him staying is that he wasn't quite as bad this season as last? Oh joy. Still a long terrible run of form. Players have downed tools. Manager has lost the plot - lets put on two big guys with no one to cross the ball. Playing favourites no matter how bad they are. But SL will never have the courage to sack him as it would be admitting he was wrong. SL, you can still do the pillars thing, if you must, just get a new manager. Please. His so say favourite was dropped today brought Ellison on to provide crosses for 2 big guys as the small guy up front wasn’t working. At least he tried something different we are something like the 15th biggest club in the division yet we are in the top 10. I don’t care where we were after 15 games Huddersfield were in the top 3 of the prem after 3 games , do you think their fans will be gutted if they finish 17th ? No it’s zbout perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately it's a results business, and if he delivers a mid table finish next season, then he won't go, simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it’s zbout perspective I obviously meant paterson because wright was on the bench. You know the player who has done nothing for four months? And LJ took 19mins before realising he had no one to cross to the big guys then brought Eliasson on, that forgotten player. What a sharp mind he must have. Tactical genius.

No it’s zbout perspective We are a poor championship side. We have been a much better side. LJ can't provide a decent assessment of why it has changed. That's his job. He's clearly out of his depth when it comes to coping with difficulty and he can't adapt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he is an incredibly over rated manager who apart from one half a season has done little in his career to merit the reputation he has. For me he will never be accepted by some bcfc fans.

I don’t agree with it but I just think that the stubbornness shown by SL last season means that he will never fire LJ regardless, unless we are a couple of matches from relegation. Even then I wouldn’t be so sure...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Not good to hear, thought he had sorted out the after match analysis. But last week and this week seem like that’s maybe not the case. Be good if he just took some responsibility, think a lot more people would buy into him if he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakoe Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 LJ will kick off next season without a doubt and I think he’s earned that right. Okay, after the great start we had and the incredible cup run (during which we all hailed him as some kind of messiah) things have turned a bit shit. That’s football it can happen. The strange thing is how he tends to be ‘shit or champagne’! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
